How to Stop Your Friends From Saying "That's What She Said"

GiggleSugar — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 12:00:00 -0800

Television show catchphrases are so easy to quote, and often get an easy laugh. Has any in recent memory been more durable, and yet so annoying, as The Office's "that's what she said"? This video shows one guy's extreme measures at getting his friend to stop using the phrase every chance he got. It's not pretty, but it looks effective.

Introducing: The Penis Slide

GiggleSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 13:00:00 -0700

Umm, if ever a video deserved the WTF?! tag, this one does. It shows children sliding down a (what else could you call it?!) penis slide, while "Bohemian Rhapsody" performed by that dude who hand-farts music serves as the soundtrack. (David Lynch, are you responsible for this? Well, are you?)

Group Therapy: How Can I Forget the Past and Be Happy?

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 03:00:00 -0700

My boyfriend and I have been together for three years, and during the Summer, we went on a break. My boyfriend's grandmother died, and we had been fighting constantly; he claimed that he wanted a break from the stress he was going through. Even though our break only lasted 10 days, and I maintained my dignity by refusing to call or text, I still can't get over the fact that he hurt me after being together for so long.

This was two months ago, and I'm still having a hard time getting back my belief that we can make it through anything. Ever since we got back together, he has been nothing but great to me. He has repeatedly told me how stupid he was and how he is so sorry, but I can't seem to get it out of my head. I love him and I don't want to lose him, but ever since this has happened, I feel so insecure and needy. What can I do to fix my attitude and start building our relationship again, instead of tearing it down with my insecurities?

Sunday Confessional: He Took Advantage of Our Time Apart

DearSugar — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 09:00:00 -0700

I was with my boyfriend for about nine months when circumstances forced me to move in with him for a couple of months. At first things were OK, but within a few weeks I noticed a huge change. He didn't come straight home from work to be with me and he always found a reason to spend time with friends. By the time I found a place and began the moving out process, we had hit a full-blown rough patch. I think he was resentful that I was living with him, and I was resentful of the way he took it out on me.

In the end we decided to take a break. Even though it felt like the right decision, I was devastated that it had come to this - we had been such a happy couple. During our break, we talked every once in a while, but we never got intimate. Finally he came back to me, saying that he realized his role in everything and wanted to make things work. Together we decided to rebuild things.

It's been about five months and things have been much better, until last week when a friend confided in me that during the time we were separated, my boyfriend was having sex with his ex-girlfriend. My boyfriend's excuse is that we were "on a break," a la Ross and Rachel from Friends. I see it as emotional cheating; we took time apart to see if we could fix things, not to see if we wanted to meet other people. He claims he really does want to make this work, but now I feel conflicted about who he is. He thinks I'm overreacting, but am I? Should I just forgive him for taking advantage of our break?

GiggleSugar — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 07:00:00 -0700

Dudes claim that girls gossip too much, but what about this new phenomenon of boys posting vids of their girlies on the net to share with all their virtual buddies? Finally, we see a dude get what he deserves for exploiting his girlfriend behind her back. Her vid got 800 views and he got a smack down for it. But someone obvs didn't learn his lesson, cuz here's the sequel to the vid in question. Uh-oh. (If nasty language or douchebaggery offend your sensibilities, pass this vid up.)

Facebook: Forty Years From Now

GiggleSugar — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 11:00:00 -0700

Facebook and similar social networking sites have changed the way Generations X, Y and Z meet, mingle, and communicate. For some, it's all they've ever known. These teenyboppers are bound to take their Internet lingo and "friendly" poking habits into adulthood and beyond. Forget retirement communities; the "golden years" are gonna play out on the net - Bee-atch!

Flying Dildos Are the New Pie-in-the-Face!

GiggleSugar — Tue, 20 May 2008 12:00:00 -0700

I knew that headline would get your attention. Garry Kasparov, the legendary Russian chess player, has become an outspoken critic of President Vladimir Putin. What does this have to do with anything? Well, the following video shows a press conference he's having. The seriousness of the proceeding is interrupted . . . by a flying dildo. (You didn't think I was leading you on, did you?) His body guard or PR dude is not amused. (Man, that was a perfectly good sex toy you destroyed! Sheesh. Some people pay good money for that stuff.)

You Asked: He Wants a Break and I Don't

DearSugar — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 17:00:00 -0700

Dear Sugar--

I've been with my boyfriend for 3 years. He says he wants a break as he is going through some heavy therapy may be having a mid-life crisis - he even asked me to join him in a therapy session. He says he needs the break to get his head together however he says the break is not about us. I can't get over the fact that if he wanted to be with me, then he wouldn't be wanting this break. In my opinion, loved ones help each other out and get through the tough times TOGETHER.

He is still calling me and having casual conversations as if nothing has happened, but this time apart is killing me. I don't know what I should do. Walk away? Wait for him? Be in this limbo and be miserable, or cut all contact until he gives me a definite answer about our future?

Dear Not Wanting a Break Bianca--

It's very sweet of you to want to support your boyfriend while he's going through a rough time. I see your point about how some couples can stay together and help each other while they're in need, but maybe he's embarrassed and doesn't want you to have to play that role. He might just want to take time on his own, get through this rough patch, and then get back to being the strong man you know.

Even though it was his idea to have a break, you get to decide what your relationship will be like from now on. If you are happy remaining friends and chatting every few days, then you can be there for him in that way. If it's too painful to "just be friends," I would insist he not call you or see you until he has figured everything out. After all, this break was his idea, so he'll have to deal with the consequences.

The hardest part about this situation is that he can't tell you when he'll be ready to commit again. It could be 1 month, 6 months or 2 years. You can't just sit around and wait for him to be ready -- it's unfair and unhealthy -- so I suggest you move on and date other people. I know it'll be hard to move on at first, but just have faith that if it's meant to work out between you two, it will. Good luck Bianca.

Everyone needs a break from time to time, whether it's from your job, your family, your friends, or everything combined.

Website du Jour: When Love Breaks Down

TresSugar — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 02:00:00 -0700

"Before there were blogs, there were zines," writes the blogger behind When Love Breaks Down, a bitter but hilarious breakup blog with a twist. The breakup happened more than 10 years ago, and the blog is based on pages ripped from a zine the writer published back in 1998.

Each post features a page from the zine in all its cringe-inducing glory, complete with modern-day commentary, like this annotation on the entry above:

I really thought once you had a kid, you would grow up. Or at least have a conversation about leaving your family, at least a conversation, before you just up and do it. Before you just cheat and leave. I mean, that’s Lifetime movie plot, not real life.

Zines were totally the blogs of the 1990s; everyone was doing it! To learn more about the back story, keep reading.
